Hyundai Reveals AI-Powered

Vision for Future Smart Cities

At World Smart City Expo 2024, Hyundai presents its vision for a futuristic smart city and screens a film showcasing innovative partnerships and technologies.

In South Korea, Hyundai Motor Group unveiled its vision for the future of smart cities.
The automaker’s avant-garde concept was on display at the World Smart City Expo 2024 (WSCE), which took place in the Ilsanseo-gu (Goyang) KINTEX exhibition venue.

The Korean Ministry of Science and ICT as well as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport are the sponsors of WSCE, which took place for the first time in 2017.

The actual “Inspiring Human Progress” event was housed in a 9,600-square-foot exhibition hall divided into three themes: energy and infrastructure, logistics and robotics, and transportation.

It was accompanied with the premiere of a movie that served to emphasize the breadth of the business’s endeavors and lofty objectives. The film showcased a variety of technologies produced in multiple domains with a large number of supporting partners.
One of the solutions Hyundai showcased in the hall was DICE, a personal mobility platform that uses artificial intelligence to offer personalized services to individuals.

Its three-sided display is said to provide “a more immersive travel experience.”

Supernal, Hyundai‘s advanced air transportation business, was displaying the SA-2 eVTOL, which was first introduced at CES in January. The vehicle was also on exhibit in the Transportation Zone.

It allows individuals with restricted mobility to experience easier mobility.

Visitors to the Logistics and Robotics Zone got a chance to observe City Pod, an autonomous logistics mobility device fuelled by hydrogen and intended for waste transfer or the transportation of goods on industrial sites.

It came with a pair of wide, thin robots called the Parking Robot solution, which are meant to go underneath a car and raise its wheels so that it may be parked wherever.

Easy Swap technology was also on show.

This makes it possible to attach multiple modules to a stationary “driver” platform, which simplifies the process of transforming it into different configurations, such a camper van, office, or limousine.

The delivery robot DAL-e, which features facial recognition technology and autonomous mobility, as well as the robot dog Spot, owned by Hyundai, also made an appearance.

However, the Energy and Infrastructure Zone demonstrates that a smart city does not have to sacrifice the natural world. It has a park where visitors may meander among calm greenery and a subterranean space devoted to supplying the infrastructure required to support Hyundai’s advanced technological solutions.

After WSCE, Hyundai has said that it will construct a smart city platform, although it hasn’t said when this will happen.
